Noored Ühiskonna Heaks (NYH) is promoting a call for
participants for a Training Course called “Volunteering: A Tool for Success”which will take place from 8th until 16th
December 2017 in Oslo, Norway.

What is more, volunteering is a tool to foster
civic engagement for social matters and an expression for social cohesion by
giving own time to those who need it the most in the local community. However,
for volunteering to be a success story, motivation, enthusiasm and creativity
of volunteers need to be framed and volunteers need to be supported and to
reach the set objectives. It is a difficult art for project coordinators and
appointed youth leaders to coach local volunteers to realise activities independently
and successfully.

Moreover, even if volunteers are successfully
involved in civil society initiatives, or even their leading force and main
implementer, very often these positive examples do not reach a wider public,
because visibility measures to promote these success stories are not in place
or only of limited reach. Volunteering in many countries is the low involvement
of disadvantaged youth from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Volunteering is,
unfortunately, in many cases something done by young people with higher
education and from higher economic background.

Thus, the project aims to respond to the following
challenges for building democratic civil society structures based on personal
commitment and participation:

-
Lack of conceptualisation of volunteering as an instrument for
addressing social challenges

- Structural and organisational
problems in managing volunteer projects from the selection of the volunteers,
to the implementation of the project until its reporting and documentation
phase.

- Limited abilities of volunteer
coordinators to plan, structure, monitor and evaluate the learning and work
process of volunteers

- Lack of inclusion of marginalised
youth in civil initiatives

- Low visibility of citizen
initiatives and youth participation/ volunteering on community level resulting
in a low recognition of voluntary engagement of young people

This event will bring together 30 participants from
Estonia, Latvia, Norway, Italy, Spain and Slovenia. The event will be held in English. There are 5 vacancies available and participants
should minimum 18 years old.

The Erasmus + Programme will cover 100% of the accommodation, food
and activities and will reimburse 100% of the travel costs for the
participants – up to 275 euros. There will be a participation fee of 40
Eur. per participant.

participants for a Youth Exchange called “Let’s play together!”which will
take place from 6th until 14th December 2017

The main purpose of the
project is to show the alternative of spending free time in a creative way,
using national games that were popular in the old days when there were no
smartphones, TV or the Internet and our grandparents played it, and for us are
unknown. During the project, you will get to know the various popular games
from the other country, play them, and then in two international groups we will
be working on new games, combining some of the elements from previously known
games. New games will be presented and
tested by children from the Town Kindergarten. The best game (after voting by our „testers”) will be
distribute in our countries.

The project will allow developing
creative thinking while creating a new original game and will feel that all
participants create something new, innovative, original and useful for the
whole of Europe. Participants will learn to work in international groups,
develop their creativity, critical thinking, and gain social competence. During
the exchange, young people will become acquainted with the culture and language
of the partner countries, overcome stereotypes and linguistic and cultural
barriers. The activities planned in the project are intended to stimulate
imagination and creative thinking as well as international integration. Games
have a big impact on human development of mind, memory, concentration,
reflexes, perception, imagination, and well affect integration and contacts
with youth from foreign countries. By participating in the project participants
will acquire new skills and competences that they will be able to use in the
future.
